Welcome to Edge of Britain. My name is Scott Ramsay, and I'm going to drive for a month around the coast of mainland Britain. I'll visit the popular tourist areas, but I'll also explore the remote spots that few people know about. I'm going to stay as close as possible to the coast, which means I'll be driving about 7 000kms. It's a long way, so I'll need some company - please join me by following my blog!

Random fact of the day: Mount Snowdon is Britain's highest mountain outside of Scotland, at 1085 metres. The first recorded climbed was in 1639 by a botanist Thomas Johnston.Interestingly (to me!), Mount Snowdon is almost exactly the same height as my favourite mountain - Table Mountain in my home town of Cape Town, South Africa. The mountain gods must have created them together, and the gods must have been in a really good mood, because both mountains are beautiful...Just goes to show that mountains don't have to be the highest to be the most photogenic!

Mount Snowdon...there are various walking routes to the top, but if you're feeling lazy, rather take the Snowdon Railway, which will take you all the way up to the summit, where a new visitor centre has recently been completed.

Who am I?

Howzit! That's "hello" in South Africa, my native country. I work as a photographer and writer, and when I'm not in Cape Town, I travel to those wild and beautiful places that make Africa unique.
